4/13/15 GDT Callaspo at 2nd, batting 2nd

[Dalyn]

Great swing from Markakis!

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Yes sir!

 

[Dalyn]

I am really liking Callaspo.

He is doing fantastic for us so far.

 

[UNCBlue012]

YAY

 

[Julio3000]

Phew. If Nick hadn't gotten a hit there he'd have fallen below the Mukaki line. Not a very appealing place.

 

[USMA76]

Freeman makes good contact but right at the Miami centerfielder. A few feet one way or the other and that's a base hit.

 

[Dalyn]

Gattis not off to a good start behind the plate for the Marlins.

 

[Dalyn]

Good at-bat there.

 

[Dalyn]

Come on, Betty!

 

[jsebe10]

Last season he hacks at that. No doubt.

 

[Julio3000]

Who is this #23 for the Braves?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man, both Callaspo and CJoh are doing work.

Does the fact that both Bethancourt and Chris Johnson walked in the same game mean anything vis-a-vis the Rapture?

If we Freeman walks, hit the nearest church and beg for forgiveness.

 

[Carp]

He had a BABIP of .375 coming into the game. How is that having bad luck? His plate discipline is the problem right now.

Mark Simon released a list of leaders in hard hit ball rate earlier today. Freeman was like 6th on that list.

He is getting his hits when he puts it in play. There is no way around that. He is swinging a TON and at bad pitches. That's way more of a factor than a few hard hit balls right at someone.

 

[Dalyn]

Wow. I didn't think they had a chance at all for the DP.

 

[Carp]

Never understood the whole "bad luck" argument. Some here would pull out their peckers and scream this in defense on Brian McCann..:who can just no longer hit.

McCann currently hitting .278 with an .833 OPS. Try again.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Simmons made that look so easy
